Hobonichi 2025 Weeks MOTHER Smiles & Tears

This Weeks design is based on Shigesato Itoi's 1994 Super Nintendo game, MOTHER 2 (EarthBound in North America). It’s based on the group photos shown during the ending of MOTHER 2.

The cover has a smooth texture with a total of 25 photographs arranged across the design, which were taken by the Camera Man who suddenly appears in front of Ness and friends and takes their photo.



There’s the moment the main character Ness leaves the house to go on his adventure, and all the new places he explores alongside the friends he meets along the way. If you’ve played MOTHER 2, you’ll find photos filled with memories. These sepia-tone photos are printed within gold frames.



When you open this techo, you’ll see a custom endpaper exclusive to this design. It shows the elusive genius cameraman pointing his camera at you.

Look at the camera...
Ready...
Say, “fuzzy pickles.”



The ending credits for MOTHER 2 are more touching the more memories you’ve captured in photographs. This techo, too, will serve as a wonderful book of memories when you fill it with everyday things.

This techo comes with a Kraken Zip-up Bag based on one of the iconic boss characters in MOTHER 2. Now you can have this monster of the sea, feared by all sailors, swallow up the items you use frequently.



You can store sticky notes, lip balm, medicine, or other small items in this palm-sized clear case to stop them from scattering about in your bag. When you pull it out of your bag, feel free to use it and exclaim dramatically:

◆H...h...here it coooomes!






The cover has been constructed as a light, hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.
